Aluminium, like most metals, forms cations easier than it does anions. The most common for aluminum is Al3+, when it has lost three electrons.
anion
Anion is a negative ion (Cl-) and cation is a positive ion (Na+).
AgNO3 consists of the cation Ag+ and the anion NO3-. Ag+ is the silver cation, while NO3- is the nitrate anion.
Boron is an element and is neither an anion or cation. If ionized it would tend to from B3+ and would be thus a cation.

Al2O3 - aluminum oxide (dialuminium trioxide); this oxide is not a cation or anion but a chemical molecular substance.
Aluminium cation is 3+; bromide anion is Br-. The aluminium bromide is AlBr3.
The cation would be C6H5NH3+ and the anion would be C6H5NH-
The cation of potassium cyanide is potassium (K+) and the anion is cyanide (CN-).

Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.
Oxygen is neither a cation nor an anion. It is a neutral element.
CR is a cation.
Anion is a negative ion (Cl-) and cation is a positive ion (Na+).
Hydrogen can be either a cation or an anion, depending on the chemical reaction it is involved in.
